“Our online learning is designed to address current issues that sign companies face,” says Matthew Rumbaugh, ISA director of education. “Many businesses find that hiring qualified employees is increasingly difficult, and therefore must train new hires. These courses provide a tremendous learning opportunity for educating or cross training, or a refresher course for more experienced employees.”

Training is open to ISA members as well as non-members. Each course will take about 90 minutes to complete, the association reports, but trainees have the option to go through various modules at different times.

“Education has always been an important element of the services ISA offers to its members and to the larger sign industry,” says Lori Anderson, ISA president and CEO. “By adding online learning capabilities to our in-person education and webinars, we have made training available to sign companies around the world, when and how they need it.”

Registration: $150 per course for non-members ($75 for members). Those registering by December 31, 2012, receive one complimentary registration.
